I fill my business object by 'Select * from cowboys order by cow_lastname, cow_firstname' and then it comes in alphabetically. But when I add a new cowboy how do I keep the data in Alpha order? The form is a SF maintenance form but the navigation keys no longer work after I add a new cowboy. ???? TIA.

I really don't want to control it so I will play with it some more and see if I can isolate that it is this control giving me the wierd results.  Is there a way to default the datetimepicker to the current date? TIA.

Since the control is bound to the field on the business object, it is going to pull its value from the business object, so the best way to default it to the current date will be to set the field on the business object in the SetDefaultValues method to todays date.  DateTime.Now will work, or if you don't want the time, then DateTime.Now.Date.
